Some of us follow the Primal Blueprint (http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/#axzz2StgbebUN), which is similar to paleo but allows for some dairy, if you can tolerate it.

Personally I have used almond flour, but only occasionally. I don't make a point of making traditional Standard American Diet foods from primal/paleo ingredients (such as the almond flour), i.e. breads, baked goods, etc all the time. I base my diet around lots of veggies, meats & eggs, and healthy fats, which is basically my shopping list every week.

This! I also dont do baked goods, but the almond flour and coconut flour are widely used with this way of eating.

Hi!!! I eat full fat butter and cheese now that I eat Paleo/Primal (I know, they are not the same blah blah blah) Before I went primal I never ate them! You can't have a sweet potato without butter!!

I use them pretty interchangeably but the simple difference is pretty much as mentioned before and summarized like this: Primal allows everything paleo allows, plus some dairy (and maybe some other stuff, I can't think of off the top of my head).

I'm paleo most of the time but I do eat a little cheese here and there. My typical dinner is just some meat and, usually, a salad. It's just too big a pain in the *kitten* for me care about paleoizing non-paleo dishes.
